    I’d love for these asshats to be made to define what they mean by a “Communist”, etc.

      My very conservative mother (who I no longer speak to) once got mad at Amazon, as in Amazon.com the capitalist empire, and said that they were “the most communist thing ever.” Communists are whoever makes you mad or whoever the alt right media claims they are. Or something like that.

        Oh, and sorry to hear about your mother. I suspect conservatism has destroyed more than a few family relationships.

        I know, the weird pivot to hating on things like Amazon or “Big Tech” has been a strange turn. I mean, I know the cons like baby hands are pretending to be populist, but really? A lot of the base seem to be nothing but reprogrammable meatbots. If the likes of baby hands or tuckems or whatever tell them that these modern-day robber barons are “Communist” they’ll buy it. I mean some of them probably even think Elon is in on the Communist plot because of the EV and solar thing.

        This, after years and years and decade upon decade of them pulling the Worthington’s Law on anyone criticizing the elite. That’s exactly what they pull for baby hands. But for “Big Tech” it suddenly is bad to amass billions of dollars because they have been told Big Tech - which has help to prop up and propagate literal Nazi content - has been busily censoring conservative speech (lol).
